CYP4X1

Chr 1

cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily X member 1

The protein is a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes epoxidation of anandamide's arachidonoyl moiety, potentially modulating endocannabinoid signaling in the brain. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near zero, LOEUF >1), and no clear human disease associations have been established despite its suggested role in neurovascular function. Clinical significance of CYP4X1 variants in pediatric neurological conditions remains uncertain.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
